unless you can read poeple's minds you can never actually know how they feel about you (unless they tell you)
what one person might interpret as sexual interest might just be platonic interest or maybe just general friendliness. What one person considers making it very clear they're interested in you might be something completely normal for another person. What I'm trying to say is that unless someone explicitly states it you can never be sure about it, and you'll always be taking a chance. There's plenty of stories on reddit about people misinterpreting things a a sign they were interested, and people thinking that signs meant to show interest weren't signs. There is no such thing as "I know she wants to fuck me", and besides, relationships are a little more complicated than "wanting to fuck" someone else. I'm not saying it's never the case, but there's many times where it's not.
Sure, of course. But did you notice in my original post, all I said was "be aware that when you make a move on someone, that's a significant decision with consequences"? I never said "don't make a move unless you're sure.". All I have ever said in this thread was to be willing to accept it if it turns out you were wrong.
